Very knowledgeable, kind and compassionate

I met with Julie for some initial advice about divorce. She was very clear in her communication and put me at ease with her calmness and compassion for my situation. I would definitely recommend her.

Mostly 'On The Ball' But not always

Dealing with Wills and Trusts, Jerome is as always clear, professional and inventive . Dealing with the Conveyancing Department was sometimes more difficult and frustrating. We had quite a lot of house matters this year and we found it hard work. However the jobs got done to our satisfaction in the end.

Fantastic Service

I have used Blanchards Bailey for over 20 years and they are a superb firm to deal with. Meggie Crane at Blanchards has dealt with the Probate for both my mother and father and been a pleasure to work with. My fathers estate in particular was very challenging and she has provided expert legal guidance and handled the whole process with compassion and professionalism. I would highly recommend Meggie.

A high standard of service.

I had the pleasure of working with Blanchards Bailey as a client on several legal matters related to my late mother. Thanks to the way Blanchards conducted themselves a very difficult time in my life was made easier to bear and manage. I was never left waiting or worrying about what steps were being taken to progress the various workloads involved, communication was always clear and prompt. The company makes full use of modern IT methods which serves to speed up the achieving of good outcomes. I would be pleased to recommend Blanchards, I found them to be honest, straightforward and efficient.

House purchase

Laura was excellent throughout the sale of our property and the purchase of our new home. Laura kept us fully informed at every stage, communicated clearly and promptly, and made the whole process feel smooth and straightforward. We felt well supported from start to finish and would not hesitate to recommend Laura.

Boundary Dispute

I recently had a serious dispute with my neighbour after she cut a large hole in my mature hedge, this hedge had been properly maintained by me for 15yrs and formed a screen between our two properties. It was clear to me, that I would have to instruct a Solicitor to get this issue resolved. I spoke to Blanchards Bailey LLP, and was directed to Ben Jones and his team in the company’s litigation dept. Ben listened intently to my sad tale of past issues with this difficult neighbour, and the current problem that I was experiencing. After gathering the relevant evidence he entered into communication with my neighbour, pointing out detailed areas, where the law had been infringed by her actions, and how this issue could escalate to an expensive legal action. I was fully supported, and kept informed by Ben and his entire team of professionals throughout the whole process. Which ended quickly, with my cost's being paid in full! I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Blanchards Bailey LLP, and their litigation team, and would like to thank Ben Jones, and his very capable team.
